The number nine promptly angled his run from the left side of the box not bothering to wait for Logan to catch up. Ole was there to meet him ready to close him down blocking off his path to the middle of the box. The St Arthur's number nine didn't mind the extra pressure as he promptly swung his foot sending a powerful shot at the near post.
The ball drew a sharp angle just narrowly missing the outstretched feet of Ole who came sliding in, in the hopes of stopping his shot. The ball flew at an awkward angle heading straight for the top left corner of the goal. However, Mike who was already guarding his near post easily managed to bring his gloves to the ball deflecting it out for a corner kick.
A Burst of relief could be heard by the home team players and supporters after having survived that dangerous situation. The danger wasn't fully gone though as the Saints quickly got set for their corner kick. Almost all of their players flooded the Eagles penalty box leaving only two defenders at the halfway line to watch out for a counter.
It didn't take them long to get set for the corner kick and chaos started to brew within the Eagle's box as both team's players fought for favourable positions. The one to execute the set piece was the opposing team's left back who promptly raised his hand upon getting the officials go ahead. The next moment he sent a curved cross into the box along the six-yard line right into the mass of bodies in the box. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
Jake Smith who was close to the front post was the first player to rise into the air to meet the oncoming ball. Outmuscling his marking assignment, he stretched out his neck as far as he could trying his best to connect with the ball. However, he came up just a few inches short missing the ball by a hair breath.
"See what I mean?" Ryan commented after being spoked by the number six seemingly not expecting him to suddenly attack him. Seeing Ryan's innocent look as if he had seemingly unveiled a secret the ref fought back the urge to slap himself to check if he was dreaming. "Kid stop talking, you are getting a yellow be more careful in your actions," The official told Ryan with an exasperated expression. He didn't want to talk with this troublesome kid any longer as he could feel a migraine coming about.
Quickly taking out his card he gave Ryan a yellow card and the number six got a warning from him. Not planning on delaying the match any longer he quickly shooed away the players who had gathered and signalled for a saint's penalty. The Eagles players tried to argue with the ref with Ryan being the most vocal, but he was having none of it.
A few moments later the saint's number nine stood over the ball in front of the penalty spots intently focusing on Mike in-between the sticks. The keeper himself was franticly jumping around and waving his hands attempting to put him off. Taking a deep breath, the striker confidently took a couple of strides back.
[Wheeeet]
With the sound of the whistle, the number nine speedily closed in on the resting ball looking to fire it into the back of the net. That was exactly his plan as he forcefully swung his right foot sending the ball towards the right side of the goal. The ball left his foot in a straight line like an arrow that left its string. Before Mike even had the chance to react the ball recreated against the inside of the right post and curled into the back of the net.
With a goal scored the Saint's players immediately took off celebrating the fact they had taken the lead in the first ten minutes of play. The supporters of the away team also let their support be known as they cheered for their players. Whilst this was happening the eagles could only hang their heads in disappointment. .
